A Wound

Chapter 62's

The next day, Ibra takes Ara somewhere. Because of the work holiday, they leave early in the morning, after breakfast.

"Where are we really going, brother?" ask Ara curiously.

"You'll find out later!" answer Ibra.

"Is it going to be long?" ask Ara.

"Eitherway! Why why?"

"When we go home later, we stop at the chicken porridge stall earlier? it looks good," said Ara imagining.

"Aren't we having breakfast?"

"Yes, but I'm still hungry."

"Why not say it since. We can stop by to buy first."

"Yes, we've gone back" Pinta Ara.

"Seriously so?" tanya Ibra was convincing.

"Yes!" ara replied.

"All right!" Ibra sighed, then turned the direction of his car, towards the chicken porridge stall that his wife meant.

Upon arriving at the stall, Ara decided to eat at the stall only. Accompanied by Ibra, Ara quickly finished off her chicken porridge, not wanting to make her husband wait for long.

Ibra who saw Ara eating so voraciously squinted her eyes, feeling nauseous. How not, even just a few minutes ago they had breakfast. How could his wife spend a bowl of chicken porridge with a large portion.

After Ara finished her porridge, they resumed their journey.

"Happy?" ask Ibra for pleasantries.

"Yes, it's full." Ara smiled widely, satisfied with the taste of her chicken porridge.

"Clearly!" ibra said softly, so as not to be heard by Ara.

After a few minutes, they finally arrived at their destination. Ibra enters a yard with a minimalist concept.

"Whose house is this?" ask Ara.

"We go down first" said Ibra while turning off the engine of his car. "Come on!" take her, then get out of the car and followed by Ara.

Ara knitted her eyebrows together when she saw Ibra opening the door with the key in her hand.

"Welcome to our new home" Ibra said after opening the door.

"Our house?" asked Ara confused.

"Yes, our house. From tomorrow we will stay here" Ibra replied smiling. "Come, comein!" Ibra embraces Ara, and leads her into the house.

"But why?" ask Ara.

"What?" Ibra was confused by his wife's question.

"Why should I move? Does your mom know that Papa already knows?"

"Yes, they all know. And they totally agree.... Although Mama didn't agree that we moved at first, but I've made it clear that we can't stay with them forever. We also have our own families, so we have to learn to live independently.... People say that independent living is more fun" Ibra smiled.

"Mama will definitely feel lonely when we move."

"Not to think about. Mama said, she would come here often. Mama was happy, because she had a place that she could visit if she was bored at home," explained Ibra.

"really?" Ara smiled then nodded small. "Thank God it's like that."

"Yes, then come on, I'll show you the contents of this house." Ibra embraces Ara and takes her around the house. Showing one by one the rooms in his new house.

"How do you like the house?" ibra asked as they ended up inside the room that would become their private room later.

"Thank God you like it. Sorry to make it without telling you. I just wanted to surprise you, ", Ibra said.

"Yes, thank you." Ara smiled and hugged her husband for a moment.

"If there's a part you don't like, just say it. I'll change it for you. Because later you will continue to be at home, then I will try to make it feel comfortable for you," said Ibra.

"No, kok. Ara really likes everything." Ara circulated her gaze looking at her entire room. He opened the curtain of his room, and looked out, which revealed an empty land around there.

Ibra stepped closer to his wife, and hugged Ara from behind. "Hopefully after living independently, we soon have a new family member here" he said, stroking Ara's stomach.

"Yes, aamiin!" Ara smiled and rubbed her husband's hands together.

"I can't wait to see it." Ibra tightened her embrace. " From now on, we have to try even harder to make it" he added laughing.

"What the hell!" Ara floated a pinch in her husband's hand. Makes Ibra even more difficult.

Ibra turned Ara's body towards her, and clasped her hands together. "I want to have many children later, so you don't feel lonely anymore, and don't feel like you don't have anyone else" he said, rubbing his wife's cheeks.

"Thank you" said Ara, then hugged her husband's body. "I won't feel lonely as long as Brother is with me. Promise me not to leave me forever. Ara was very affectionate, Brother," he said, tightening his embrace.

"That's never gonna happen. I promise with my life" replied Ibra, kissing his wife's head. "Sister also loves you very much, Araku," he added.

***

It had been three days that Ibra and Ara occupied her new home. And every day Mama Reta came to visit to just chat with Ara.

Today Mama Reta has told Ara that she will come and invite Ara to cook together.

Before the arrival of her in-laws, the morning after Ibra left for work, Ara went to the nearest supermarket to buy some groceries they would need to cook later.

One by one the food ingredients are achieved by Ara, until all the ingredients it needs feel complete. Ara walked towards the cashier, to pay for her shopping.

But when he saw an ice cream picture that was not far from where he was waiting in line, suddenly Ara was very eager to eat ice cream.

And without Ara knowing, at this time he had taken so many kinds of ice cream that he thought everything was very tempting.

Immediately Ara brought her groceries to the cashier, because she could not wait to enjoy her ice cream. He even thought about eating some ice cream in the car later.

"Es the cream is a lot." The words of someone standing right behind Ara, made the woman turn around.

"Raphel!" said Ara lirih.

"Hi! I don't think you'll remember me anymore" Rafael smiled. "Whose cream is it for? a lot." asked Rafael to pay attention to the contents of Ara's shopping cart.

"Make me," answered Ara flatly.

"Oh yes, a lot. Do you like ice cream so much?" rafael asked again, but did not get an answer from Ara who was busy removing her groceries in front of the cashier.

"Are you in a hurry?" ask Rafael. But still did not get an answer from Ara. "If you're not so busy, maybe we can have coffee together" he said.

"I'm sorry, but Mama's going home. So I have to go home quickly, "Ara replied, without looking at the man.

"That's it! All right, then we'll do it sometime" Rafael said.

Ara sighed, and turned to look at the man beside her. "Sorry, but it doesn't seem like we're so close to doing it."

After paying for her groceries, Ara immediately left without permission, leaving the man she thought was very strange.

"We've even been closer than that." Inner Rafael, smiling at Ara's departure.
